Title: New Deck -- Custom Legendary Playing Cards -- on Kickstarter

The designs seems cool but unfinished. The back design isn't well thought out, and the 4 indexes are too bad.

Also does not seem to be a USPCC deck

the designer says this:

"professionally printed on dedicated industrial playing card printers of the highest quality. We use top-grade card stock which is the same as those made for casinos, so your printed playing cards are sharp and rich in color and quality and are very durable."

One-way back of an easily googled abstract color image. I think I have several of those as desktop wallpapers.

Very poor matting on the pips, that needs a lot of work. The rest just looks like a compilation of stock photos. Once again, a project that was not fully thought out before jumping onto Kickstarter. Seems to be the norm these days.

Most of the designs seem like they were from google and a lot of them don't even look that good. The name of the deck is just stupid in my opinion and overall, this is a big no.

I agree, i'm going to pass on this deck. And what is up with the back design or lack thereof?

Kickstarter decks lately are crap, I dont really think that matters though. Good decks will be funded, crappy decks will never succeed.

I like the coloring of the face and back of the cards. However, the lack of creativity and editing (and pricing for that matter) has given me the immediate pass on this deck. I'd rather get other decks with better quality for cheaper prices thank you very much!

There is some really good concept  out of this such as the backgrounds of the Aces but the rest is just mehh so no and not a fan of the 4 pips idea

Okay.... All the images in that deck are mostly stuff you can get from google images....
And I also have the same exact image as well for my wallpaper... what in the world. :(
And those pips.... I've seen those before too.  And it has the case of the ctr+c  ctr+v  ctr+t  thing going on there.
:(

And the Ace of Clubs... looks vaguely familiar or maybe its just me. Overall, I think this is going to be a supah fail. Unless he changes it and actually work on the design besides ctr+c  ctr+v  ctr+t.

Some will never learn.  Hopefully this guy will learn when his Kickstart crashes and burns.

Looks like the creator's Kickstarter account was deleted as well.

I guess he either read this page or realized how little potential his deck had. I guess it's a good thing so not everyone gets hopes and turns to kickstarter with their crappy google-imaged deck concepts.
